From Gene Sansbury, Librarian and Researcher at a Library in Columbia, SC; 2011 I'm attaching some pictures sent to me from the library in Milburn NJ on Charles Sutton co-pilot in the 4/16/44 missing plane with Lassetter. I'm not sure I've given you any of this story yet, but Charles was lost in Apr/44 and his younger brother Robert shot down while flying a B-!7 mission over Germany in July. Can you imagine the despair of the Sutton parents? Robert was found to be in a German POW camp in Sept. and liberated by the Third Army in Apr. of 45 and went back to Yale to get his Engineering degree and was married in 1951. According to SS records Robert died in June of 93. I've been unable to obtain an obituary on him or his parents but that is where my research is at present.
